Best Answer

There are no reports of 1965 dimes being struck on old silver blanks used in 1964 and earlier. All dimes dated 1965 and later are made of copper and nickel. Any dime made in 1965 that appears to be silver is almost certainly plated, maybe for use in jewelry or as a novelty item.

In any case a genuine silver dime is heavier (6.25 gm) than a copper-nickel dime (5.67 gm) so a good scale will tell you if a coin was plated.

It is worth 300 dollars but i saw one on eBay for 445 so it ranges between 300 and 400 dollars. REPLY/EDIT: I don't see this being anywhere near "correct" ... a 1965 dime with silver content is valuable however 1966 dimes ... WELL ... are "a dime a dozen" ... Search Ebay and you'll find nobody bidding .99 cents for them! I hope this helps.

The US mint made the coin but did not plate it. This was done outside of the mint. If it's a 1964 or earlier date, the value is for the silver, about $2.00. If 1965 or later, it's 10 cents unless you find someone that wants it.

Please check your pocket change. You should be able to find dimes dating back to 1965 when the current copper-nickel composition was introduced. Any ordinary dime with that date or later that you find in change will be worth face value only.

Generally 90% silver, 10% copper. There were minor adjustments in the 19th century but anything you find from the 1870s forward will be so-called "coin silver".
